"facilitation" is a crime by itself. If I give you the plans to a bank which
you then use to rob it , I am liable even if I did not personally take part
in the robbery. You really believed there is any question this site is not
set up for the sole purpose of helping people do illegal downloads while it
sells ads ?

I think what has me, Dennis and others of upset is not what the correct
legal statute under which such an operation would be charged with if it
operated in the US but why a librarian who presumably wants to protect the
rights of authors, filmmakers, artists etc would find such a site appealing
and admirable ?
